@themrpotato try to add the same port in internal port too in your rule Also for this to work you need to open the bat, it's not made for private games, it's a server. And last thing you need to let the server open for like 30s until there's a heartbeat for it to be joinable, it's not instant If you're sure you only have Windows Defender then add a firewall rule for both incoming and outgoing connections. Also.maybe check both public and private for plutonium-bootstrapper32.exe And the most important are you 100% sure the local IPv4 on your port forward rule is the local IPv4 of your PC right now? It could've changed. Open a cmd in Windows and type ipconfig to see

I don't really understand what your issue/question is but: Players can join servers mid-game normally. Unless you mean to force them to play right away instead of being spectators for a round? Then that's very likely a GSC script that you need to find or create I didn't experience maps ending when you're solo. Are you sure it doesn't only happen on specific maps? If you could give a clear/precise case of what you're saying that would help because I have no idea what you're talking about, never saw that myself

@Vaporous what’s in ur scripts folder or server scripts folder

@JezuzLizard I mean, there is no way and if there is, they won't say it here .. =( ..thanks for your answer!

@Dss0 how, I had seen that it was between the set mod but must believe not, did we put the path of the file?

@Adam_911 a server and a custom game isn't the same. If you can't host a custom game you can't host a server either as the requirements are the same except that a server is more complex Read this https://plutonium.pw/docs/custom-games/#t4--t6

bruh now i try to devmap nazi_zombie_mapnamehere i press enter it just closes the console i did check and made sure everything was written correctly it was but it closes the console when i hit enter

@WORLD158 you can join it on your local network via the lan ip of the machine it's hosted on. connect 192.168.x.x check which port your server runs on, type net_port into the server console to get it then add it to the ip connect 192.168.x.x:28961

I used to host that map maybe 4 or 6 months ago and I tried right now and it doesn't work for me. Something might be wrong on Plutonium's side or a particular dvar/config/gsc needs to be changed but idk

@JezuzLizard This solved it!! thank you. Why was this syntax not on the https://plutonium.pw/docs/server/t4/loading-mods/ page for dedicated server setup of mods? anyway thank you Everything seams to work as i was able to join and play. I was getting some connection/rubber banding issue I noticed on dead ship but not on other maps which is something I never got on stock maps but that was testing with bots so I'll have to do more testing.

Yeah its the most obvious thing that it could be, seems like someone broke something regarding that menu. Glad you could figure your issue out. Edit: Eldor just pushed a fix for it, you might have to refresh the page forcing it to ignore your cache to work.

@Sm1leYT restart ur game if it still doesn’t work Check ur firewall

I guess the tidbit I missed is that I need to start a game and wait about 10 seconds for it to work. Thank you!

@Stefan1606 have you made port forwarding? it's necessary in order for your friend to join the server you host and vice versa.

I have the same problem

You can either write a GSC script for it or (recommended) use IW4MAdmin. It's a server manager that does a lot of useful things, allows you to track players (player count, players connected, max players connected etc.), kick, tempban, ban etc. and with all the features it has it has a built-in and easy to use auto messages feature https://github.com/RaidMax/IW4M-Admin https://github.com/RaidMax/IW4M-Admin/releases

Can you reupload the files please, or tell us which files we need and how to get them? Thanks!
